Lock 'N Lock No more

BH2008 — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 12:57:36 GMT

So disppointed that Lock n Lock keeps getting rid of colors. I collected one color specific to my kitchen and do not want a hodge podge of colors; so this customer is out of here.

Anyone like myself that has 'collected' probably has plenty anyways.

@BH2008 Although I gravitate towards red, I don't mind different colors. If I truly needed and wanted a L&L item, the color choices would not deter me.

Like @RespectLife said, if there are "collectors" out there, I would agree that there really is no real need for more.

I do have alot of L* n* L, but in the clear and most of it is in storage now--but don't feel the need to buy more--I really prefer the glass storage stuff now.

The quality has really gone down hill. I'm switching to glass. Much better.

After lots of years of shopping for containers, I have too much plastic compared to my needs. My L&L is doing okay, but I've often bought out brands brick and mortar - good quality but I could buy one or two at a time in the sizes I actually needed.

I'm not a good customer for stacks of plastic, and I know thinking a company can profit sending out one piece at a time for something as inexpensive as a small plastic container is ridiculous.

I also am replacing my plastic containers with Anchor Hocking glass containers. I stopped purchasing L and L many years ago. Poor quality

I have purchased more of the glass L&L lately and love it.To me they are superior to any brand I have used. I mainly use the ones with vented lids--so nice. They truly go from frig to freezer and oven (minus the plastic lids of course) with no breakage. I like how easy they are to open also. The anchor hocking brand look as though they would be difficult to open for someone with arthritis.

I have found their tritan dishes wonderful for a packed lunchfor hubby. No breakage and they do not discolor either.

I like to buy the different colors, because I like to know what sets went together. Just me being ******.

I have had numerous tabs break off. I have some where two of the four have broken off. I suppose I should just throw those out. I have some that are stained, and some that have gotten scratched or marred somehow, even though I am careful and never use a mixer in them.

They are not that expensive, so I suppose L and L people just expect us to throw out the used ones and buy more and more.

My problem is they are no longer air tight. As a test cut up a raw onion and put it in the fridge for a couple of days.

I have more than enogh L&L containers. I have switched to Anchor Hocking glass containers with better fitting lids.

Glass is best, either Pyrex or Anchor Hocking

@BH2008

Try Ebay if you're looking for a particular color...they have a LOT of new stuff on Ebay from Lock n Lock.....you may be able to find what you want there.

I understand if you're looking for a specific new shape in your color you may not be successful.

There's a ton of Temptations stuff on there too.

I love my L&L. I have many different colors because I like to use the variety. I have only had one lid snap break off in all the years I have had them. I get excited when they bring on new colors because of the above reason.

I bought the TSV because I love that bowl type design. It fits a head of lettuce or a partial head when cut.

I have way too much, but occasionally go through it and recycle. My guy heats everything in these. (It's ok, saves breaking things). I prefer glass to reheat. I've seen the bowls "pit" and stain. But I use them for a lot of leftovers. I have every size but prefer the same size to nest better. I do have a lot for cereals, and pantry items. I do like the pie carriers. My old items ARE better quality. Those tabs really snap. I think I've had one tab break in all my years of L&L. So many colors here!

I have also joined those who have converted from plastic to glass containers. I have purchased Pyrex mostly, but recently tried the Lock n Lock glass containers. i bought the 9x13 glass pan with lid a while back at a low plrice with free shipping. A little heavy but the borosilicate glass is great.

I am interested in buying more pieces in smaller sizes but refuse to pay Q's high shipping costs, so I'll wait until a free shipping day to purchase. $5.50 for shipping for 3 containers that cost $18.00 is ridiculous!!
